KATATONIA - "Rough Shit - It's That Time Of The Year"
October 31, 2007, 16 years ago
According to a band update, "the members of Katatonia have now since about two weeks been struggling with everything from the flu, ear infections, pneumonia and sinusitis. Two of the members are still on penicillin antibiotics to get well. It’s safe to say that Katatonia never want or intend to cancel our own gigs, and it’s never been a common situation in our past. Unfortunately, this time the Burgdorfer gig in Switzerland got suffering and had to be canceled in the last minute. Why so late some might rightfully ask? Well, it’s easily explained - because we still intended to play it 'til the last minute! Eventually it just was not possible. The band was both advised and incapable of flying or playing - doctors orders. If we would look for replacements for the sick members, it would be a entirely new band playing and we’re sure none wants to go see that, with that said, we’ll do our best to struggle our way through the Norwegian gig (Screamfest 2007) in Oslo on Saturday and hope for your understanding if we’re not in top shape yet."
